Eco-friendly products refer to products that don’t cause any harm to the environment. While producing or using it, eco-friendly products don’t cause any problems due to their biodegradability. Naturally, sourced products or products that have natural raw materials in their construction are eco-friendly and biodegradable. For example, Areca leaf plates, are made of naturally sourced areca leaves that don’t cause any harm to the environment.

Under usual circumstances, eco-friendly products are not more expensive than artificially produced products as the raw materials are sourced from nature. But sometimes if the raw materials are rare to find, the finished good can be more expensive. For example, some plants are very rare to find which makes natural medicine expensive.

Plastics cause unimaginable harm to our environment & ecosystem. Some of the core problems caused by plastics are, 

• It pollutes our environment in soil, sea, river, etc. Traces of plastic can be found almost everywhere on earth. 
• To produce plastic fossil fuel is required. Which is a direct contributor to greenhouse emissions. 
• Plastics are non-biodegradable which is why the trace of plastic stays for thousands of years. 
• Plastic breaks downs into micro pieces which can be consumed by humans & other animals directly or indirectly cursing many health problems.  
• Plastic can contain toxic chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. These chemicals can leach into the environment, contaminate soil and water sources, and ultimately harm animals, plants, and human health.

100% of areca leaf plates are recyclable if used & maintained carefully. The sturdy design makes it possible to recycle multiple times.

Here are some examples of eco-friendly products. 

1. Reusable water bottles made of glass or steel. 
2. Jute or cloth-made grocery bags. 
3. Biodegradable cleaning products. 
4. Bamboo toothbrushes. 
5. Solar-powered chargers.
